attracted by the good programme
mapped out. The first race was

$50 to first, $75 to second, $25 to
third. The entries were Hills Adam,
Arcadia stables Glenell, Slaughter's
Dublin Bay, Matt Storms Grover
Cleveland, and Warnings Iele-
phone. Grover Cleveland was
barred at the pools and
Dublin was the favorite. There was a
GOOD deal of trouble in getting a start
in the first heat, owing to the frac-
tious temper OF Telephone who had
run great deal in the thirty-mile
race of the previous day, and did not
seem anxious to show his PAGES any
more. After a few efforts and with
the help of some one who hit the OBJ
streperous racer with a big clod,
a start was made. The send off
with the clod induced Tele-
phone to keep well up to the half
mile post. There he fell behind.
Cleveland of course got off from the
starting point a little last, but he soon
closed up the gap and took the lead
to the wire winning in 1:16. Adam
came in second under severe punish
ment. Glenell third, Telephone fourth,
and Dublin last.
In the repeat Telephone was as
much indisposed to start as before.
The clod racket failed on him this
time. When start was made the
horses ran we'll together, Cleye-
land winning the heat, the
race and first money, Dublin the
heat and second money, Adam third
and third money.
ANOTHER RUN.
The second race was for two-year-
old runners, five-eighths OF a mile,
winners of any two-year old event pre-
vious to carry seven pounds extra
weight, purse $150-$90 to first, $40 to
second, $l5 to third. The starters
were Nettie Washington, Hazel, type
setter, Kildare and Rosedale. The
last two are from the Oakland stables
of J. B. Chase. They were hot favor
ties at the pools, with Typesetter
as second choice. There were also
pools sold on Rosedale alone
as the favorite. In starting Hazel
took up the fractious role and played
it to perfection. She wanted to get an
of a quarter OF a mile, OF
not 90 at all. When a start was made
the horses went off even. For while
the Oakland horses were one i'll a
van. and the other acted as rear
guard. The bunch was broken, and
the five made long string. At the
finish, which was made in l:o4
Rosedale was first, Typesctter second,
Kildare third.
THIRD Run.
The next event was mile dash be-
tween Ed. McGinnis and John Treat.
The pools sold at $63 for McGinnis to
$23 for Treat. This caused some sus,
picion that a job was in the race, and
the Judges decided to put up other
riders. Willie Durfee was called to
the stand, but his father said the boy
should never ride another
race. Gaby and Newell were,
called up and warned
that they must ride fairly OF
be ruled off forl life. Senator Rose made
a few kind and very sensible remarks
to Gapy, to the effect that his man
hood, as we'll as his calling, was al
stake, that he should do what was right,
and maintain his honor untarnlshed. |.
There were all sorts of rumors that
Treat had been stuffed ful OF hay
But he belongs to AL. Moran, a gentle
man of integrity; and besides he ran
like scared wolf. The two horses
went neck and neck all the way.
after passing the first turn. Treat
came in ahead, with the little fellow
driving him for every inch of the race.
At the start he had the pole, and at
the first turn, in cutting him
out, it was claimed that Treats rider
had fouled. The judges We're OF the
same opinion, and gave the race to
McGinnis. The decision was gener-
ally upheld by the crowd. The time
was :43.
After this event. DIR. III. X. Wise's
Raiah took a walk over for the 2:27
class stakes, there being NO competl-
tor to dispute it with him.
THE LAST RACE.
The days sports closed with a
special trot, in which the starters were
Victor, Oliver J. Pendennis and Inca,
Jr., for purse of $400. There was a
good start made after about four
scores, with Inca little in
the lead. Pendennis went well
to the quarter stake, where
he went into the air, and as he is a
bad catcher he lost much time before
he got his feet again. At the half
he repeated the performance and thus
lost the heat in spite OF good run
ming. At the finish Inca, Jr.
passed under the wire first with Victor
second and Oliver j. third. This un-
expected turn gave the few hackers OF
Inca a little solice in the shape
of S47.5O in the Paris Mutuels.
In the second heat the four horses
made a long string along by the quar-
ter stake, Wllu OllNcI ioiuiuS' lhS'
was away behind. At the half Inca
closed up the gap. Victor came down
the stretch second. He lost his feet
lust before getting under the wire.
The decision was: Oliver j. first,
Inca, Jr. second, Pendennis third:
Time, 2:39. The race will be finished
to-day.
